12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and yellow color. Aroma is husk/cereal/light malt, herbal/vegetal. Taste is husk/cereal/light malt-some caramel, herbal/vegetal, slight continental hops. Cardboard-mild/minimum carbonation. Very American Pale Lager (macro) like.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle... Clear, hay-colored ale with a small, frothy, white head. Small, creamy, white head. Good retention and tall, thunderhead lacework. The flavor is well-balanced and mirrors the light aroma... strawy, citrusy and yeasty. Light-bodied and thin with fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, lightly bitter finish.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
I like most of Blue Point’s beers so I thought I’d pick up a growler of this... big mistake. Pale golden, thin white head. Lightly wheaty and malty with a hint of toast. In the mouth though, that toast turns to an acrid charred bitterness. Very strange brew, and not in a good way. Highly forgettable.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a light yellow with a thin, fizzy head. Weak nose of wheat and some mild citrus. Flavor is light and crisp, some hints lemony and tartness, along with some metallic notes. Very light body, very bubbly and, as I said, crisp. Nothing special but probably refreshing on a hot day. (I drank it in late November.)
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gold pour with gorgeous medium white head. This one is definitely "4-worthy" for appearance. Aroma of hopcit (lemon), pale malt. Tastes grainy/malty with some hopcit in the finish. Light, crisp, kolschy palate.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel, butter and butterscotch. Taste is butterscotch and light grassy hops. Watery texture, thin bodied. This one is a train wreck. 4/3/4/2/9
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught sample. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet caramel malt, some light citrussy hints. Tastes of citrus, caramel, grassy, some perfumy hints on the finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle pours gold / copper with white head. The aroma offers up mild puffs of floral hops and spicy hops with a slick smelling sugary maltiness off in the background. I think I also get sugar dusty marshmallows too. The taste is a mix of bad tasting sugary sweet floral hops and more pleasing notes of grainy malts and spicy hops. Overall the sweetness of this one out paces the more interesting fresh malty and hoppy notes.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, clear golden with strong white foam, aroma is plain fruity wheats, flavor is dry astringent lemon and bread, weak finish
